Abstract

Objective: To analyze the side effects of emergency contraceptive use in high school students in Ecuador. Method: Descriptive observational. Conclusion: It can be concluded that 60% of the students do not know the unique situations in which the morning-after pill can be used, putting their physical and psychological integrity at risk. The 20% of the students believe that the morning after pill can help them cause an abortion and the other 20% when there is condom breakage, therefore, it continues to infer the knowledge acquired by adolescents in the course of their sexual educational growth provided by the Educational Institutions.
